Roots, Tissues, Cells and Fragments—How to Characterize Peat from Drained and Rewetted Fens
Soil Systems, 2020 We present analyses of macroscopic and microscopic remains as a tool to characterise sedge fen peats. We use it to describe peat composition and stages of peat decomposition, to assess the success of rewetting of a formerly drained fen, and to understand

Mapping the restoration of degraded peatland as a research area: A scientometric review
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Degraded peatland has reduced many ecosystem services, such as water quality and quantity, biodiversity, carbon storage, climate regulations, and other cultural benefits.

Aquifer-Peatland Hydrological Connectivity and Controlling Factors in Boreal Peatlands
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The conditions in which groundwater inflow occurs in boreal peatlands and its contribution to peatland water balance are still poorly understood. The objectives of this research were to quantify the hydrological connectivity between a surficial aquifer ...

Modelling long-term blanket peatland development in eastern Scotland [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Blanket peatlands constitute a rare ecosystem on a global scale, but blanket peatland is the most important peatland type on the British Isles. Most long-term peatland development models have focussed on peat bogs and high-latitude regions.

Carbon footprint of black peat from degraded peatland previously used for agriculture in Germany
, 2021 On a worldwide scale, drained peatlands contribute substantially to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing GHG from drained peatland is the most space- and cost-effective climate change mitigation option within the land use and ...

Distribution of Carbon Stocks in Peat Bottom Based on Thickness Class in Pelalawan Village (Riau Province, Indonesia) [PDF]
, 2022 As is well known, tropical peatlands are deposits of terrestrial organic carbon of global importance. It is estimated that around 15% of carbon is stored in peatlands worldwide.

Characterizing subsidence in used and restored peatland with Sentinel SAR data
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Peatland is a fragile ecosystem in the tropical region which is prone to subsidence. Until now, there is still lack of procedure to rapidly assess a tropical peatland subsidence in a large area.

Biogeochemical indicators of peatland degradation – a case study of a temperate bog in Northern Germany [PDF]
, 2015 Organic soils in peatlands store a great proportion of the global soil carbon pool and can lose carbon via the atmosphere due to degradation. In Germany, most of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from organic soils are attributed to sites managed as ...
